Even if you think it is "evil" in the eyes of a supernatural being and you also believe homosexuals will be punished after they die by this being, then that is one thing - and a matter for your faith and conscience - but any active support you would give to their judicial murder/execution (for their sexual orientation) would, I think, be "evil" on your part, an ...[text shortened]... ferent from you merely holding certain sincere opinions about other people's sexual orientation.

It would require a society devoted to God and appointed by God.

Perhaps that is the point you don't understand.

Why would you support executing homosexuals for being homosexuals when your professed religion says that your god figure will be the judge of people's "sins" - and punish them - and not you?

Where did Christ suggest that society should execute homosexuals?

In Leviticus.

You believe that Jesus Christ is telling society to execute homosexuals in "Levicitus"?

You would support the execution of rebellious children in these circumstances?

You mean like OT Israel, of course.

I'm not aware of any other God appointed societies. I suppose God appointed society should be added to my stipulation.

That's different from believing laws are sinful or not.

No I mean how all authority supposedly comes from God and those in positions of authority have been supposedly placed there by God. That's what Romans 13:1 claims isn't it?

Yes and everything works for God's purpose which includes things we don't understand.

God is beyond our understanding.

So, finding yourself in the cul-de-sac of your own moral incoherence, you whip out the 'Lord Works In Mysterious Ways Card'?

So, in light of Romans 13:1, do you essentially endorse the execution of homosexuals in countries like Iran?
